parsadotsh··on Tutoring company tells parents to save their money and 'use AI instead'
Are you paying for ChatGPT? OpenAI is very bad at communicating that their free models are not what "AI in 2026" is about.
parsadotsh··on Cloudflare launched self-managed OAuth for all
I for one appreciate them sharing this and found it a very interesting read. Many of us don't have experiences at companies at this scale and so it's nice whenever I get to read about what happens behind the scene.

parsadotsh··on Is DuckDB Ready for Primetime?
Whenever I see lots of comments from newly created accounts praising a product I think: Astroturfing?

But then I start thinking about how easy it would be to try to ruin a competitor's reputation by "false flag" astroturfing on their posts...

parsadotsh··on Show HN: Claude Code History Viewer for macOS
I was looking for something like this just now. I really like it, thank you for making this (I assume with help from Claude)
parsadotsh··on LiveStore: State management based on reactive SQLite and built-in sync engine
Congrats on the launch!

Would this fit into the "1. Serialization" strategy described here? https://mattweidner.com/2024/06/04/server-architectures.html...

If so, would it run into the same issue ProseMirror-collab did as mentioned in the article? As in: A frequently updating low-latency client can lock out another high-latency client's updates.

parsadotsh··on Zero-latency SQLite storage in every Durable Object
I think for those cases you're expected to use something like this: https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/analytics-engine...
parsadotsh··on PayloadCMS: Open-Source, Fullstack Next.js Framework
You should try Directus! I'm using it for a project right now and it's very nice. It has the plugin folder you mention too.
parsadotsh··on Show HN: BudgetFlow – Budget planning using interactive Sankey diagrams
Looks very nice, but animations are very laggy for me (M1 Mac, Chrome Beta)
parsadotsh··on The Threads Creator Paradox
Maybe you can try lists on Twitter/X?
parsadotsh··on Is artificial consciousness achievable? Lessons from the human brain
> The fact a conscious mind loses capability when brain damage happens shows quite clearly that consciousness as a process is reducible to smaller non-conscious parts though.

This does not follow.

Really strange writing...
parsadotsh··on Data Anywhere with Pipelines, Event Notifications, and Workflows
Wonder what the Inngest team thinks about this...
parsadotsh··on Touchpad Blocker: Disable touch-pad while typing
Well in MacBooks there isn't actually any downward travel, it's just a solid block, there's only haptic feedback to indicate a click has been registered.

What are the features that you find Tauri lacks?
parsadotsh··on DRY is an over-rated programming principle?
This is terrifying.

What is that important feature?
parsadotsh··on Switching from macOS to Pop_OS
It doesn't necessarily read as snide.
parsadotsh··on Set up a practically free CDN
It does make sense. Consider the phrase "twice as cheap"
parsadotsh··on Chrome abandons 'simplified domain experiment' in omnibar
? just have the bolded part fixed and the long part off screen ?
parsadotsh··on Taleb is wrong about IQ (2019)
JSMP: "...this example is a theoretical use case where using IQ testing is not so useful. To look at something a little more realistic, let’s say a company wants to avoid people with a performance more than 2 standard deviations below the mean. (Perhaps such employees have a risk of causing large harm, which could for instance be an issue in the military.) And we again compare admitting people at random vs only taking applicants with above average IQ."

[for reference, if using IQ as an indicator for performance, 2 standard deviations below the mean would be 70 IQ]

Taleb: "The argument by psychologists to make IQ useful is of the sort: who would you like to do brain surgery on you/who would you hire in your company/who would you recommend, someone with a 90 IQ or one with 130 is ...academic. Well, you pick people on task-specific performance, which should include some filtering. In the real world you interview people from their CV (not from some IQ number sent to you as in a thought experiment), and, once you have their CV, the 62 IQ fellow is naturally eliminated. So the only think for which IQ can select, the mentaly disabled, is already weeded out in real life: he/she can’t have a degree in engineering or medicine. Which explains why IQ is unnecessary and using it is risky because you miss out on the Einsteins and Feynmans."

parsadotsh··on On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs: A Work Rant (By David Graeber)
Perhaps you're reading too much into the literal meaning of that sentence. He's saying that this is the status quo, and the "rulers" are happy with the status quo, not that they're literally conspiring.

From the final paragraph: "... Clearly, the system was never consciously designed. It emerged from almost a century of trial and error. But it is the only explanation for why, despite our technological capacities, we are not all working 3–4 hour days."

parsadotsh··on China hires over 100 TSMC engineers in push for chip leadership
Offer literally anything. It's geopolitics on both sides.

China, for one. (in Beijing atm)
parsadotsh··on How is it like to be a dev in Iran
In Iran people openly talk of their disdain of the government, sometimes very publicly even. It's only when you become an active political activist that things might go awry.

The same can't be said of China; People here self-censor even in personal conversations.

parsadotsh··on FaceApp Now Owns Access to More Than 150M People's Faces and Names
I think Apple wouldn't be too happy in the App Store Review process if they find out your app is uploading pictures without user interaction.
